You must see this movie, especially if you are curious about government information and the news business. It doesn't look away, and I found Hersh inspiring.
Good dot-connecting, Meredith: “As I watched Cover-Up, it was hard not to think about the dire state of journalism in 2026, particularly at the legacy media outlets that gave rise to reporters like Hersh and are now controlled by Trump-friendly oligarchs.”
I was living during those times he reported on things like Vietnam and the CIA, etc.!!!!, I don’t remember about the man who was given a life sentence and was pardoned by Richard Nixon! I guess they didn’t call him “trickey Dickie” for nothin, huh? That was back in the day, when I was in College and didn’t know a lot of things!!! I’d come home on weekends and work at J’s making hamburgers which actually paid for my first two years of college! That right there should tell you how cheap a degree was and should still be!! But we all know that has really changed!!! After that , I borrowed the rest. On a Government loan! This is a really interesting article!
I do remember, and you are right, it was tough then, too. Great post.

I’m afraid to watch this documentary. Those things sear into my brain. There’s enough heinous things going on right now. I can barely handle it.
bravo
Excellent reporting!
